    How to tell AFS from non AFS bi xenon

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I've been staring at a few sets of headlights that I want to sell trying to figure out if they're AFS or not. Only one set has the original stickers on them that show the part number. Is there any other spot on the headlights that have the part number molded on it?

    How to tell AFS from non AFS bi xenon

    during the night, if your direction of light moves along with turn in the steering wheel, those are AFS light.

    here is the part number for AFS headlights 8E0 941 003 AH. This should be present on the white sticker on the housing.

    Most xenons for north america were afs. That said, if you know one set is afs, compare the ballast connectors. Afs ballasts are different and won't fit non-afs assemblies.

    Also, if you look at the internals, you should see the gears for the horizontal translation motor. If both sets have that, they are afs.

    "I don't understand Audi enthusiasts. They buy a car that looks like a bar of soap, then they spend money modifying it so it looks slightly less like a bar of soap."
